Has a mobile app been considered for development? I saw that they have one for the banksy forum using ProBoards http://www.proboards.com/mobileHow can we get one for ebeans? I'd imagine it could help raise money and support the site as well as adding more mobile capabilities for those of us who can't get enough...

There is no app as such, but there is this neat trick you can do in Safari (assuming you are talking about apps for iphones and ipads)In Safari, navigate to the home or my page of EB, hit the share button Choose "Add to Home screen" from the listSafari digs into EB and pulls out a nice little EB logo that was specifically put there ages ago, for this very use.The EB logo will now appear on your home screen, and will link you straight to EB, via Safari.The site wraps pretty neatly on iDevices as it is, without really needing an app.

Yes, it would cost $$, but I think it could be done for under $10K and maybe less with the right "volunteers".

Unfortunately its not that simple. The site consists of various parts. The forum, a portal page, the art database and the wiki. These have all been spliced together and the theme has been adapted to work. Any new theme would need to be adapted in the same way and from what I can tell it'll take a fair bit of tinkering.

Tapatalk may be an option but would only work for the forums so again some adapting would probably have to happen.

I've had zero problems whatsoever, using both a 4yr old Sony Xperia Arc and a now 2yr old Samsung Galaxy S4.

An expensive dedicated app really isn't necessary, nor should it be incumbent upon Expressobeans to finance a very costly project for a select minority of users who choose to access EB in a less conventional way.
